First time contributing to this forum. Not sure this fits, but I like the capture.

    I like it but I would of cropped the head in the foreground out even though I understand you were going for that look

    Welcome! This image definitely belongs here. I have two suggestions, however. First, while I definitely like the use of the partial figure on the left, I think you need just a bit more of her head/face, rather than less; definitely not the whole face, but just enough more so we don't think this was a mistake. And second, I would definitely do some dodging on the guy at the bar. As I look at this image now, all I really see is all the bright crap around and over the bar, and the figure at the bar is lost - I want him to stand out more.

    Thank you for the feedback. I can get into this style - it feels very addicting. More thought provoking then other things I've done.

    Thanks again.

    Welcome to the forum! It can be addicting because there is an unknown leading to a sense of adventure and surprise.

    Main suggestion on this shot is to get closer to fill the frame up more (but not entirely!) with the subject. A little too much clutter in this shot for my tastes.
